Spending more time alone gives you the opportunity to sort out what you want from a variety of options. Although you're not normally impressionable, people have been influencing your decisions in the recent past. You've got to break this cycle before it becomes a regular habit. Never let your independent spirit be diminished.

Uniting two separate sets of friends could be more successful than you think, so give it a try. It gets a bit tiresome running back and forth between both groups. Your problem is that you have so many diverse interests. You can't expect to have them all embodied in one social circle. However, that doesn't mean your pals must be kept apart.

Forming productive relationships with colleagues makes your work much easier. If people seem reluctant to be your bosom buddy then let them be. They will come around when they see others rallying to your side. Strangely, routine tasks interest you more than creative work. Is it time to give your overactive imagination a break?

Taking a long-distance trip gives you the opportunity to explore facets of your personality you normally keep hidden. It's not as though you're being deliberately deceptive. It's just that your loved ones have an extraordinary investment in your behaving a certain way. Pushing past these boundaries can be enormously liberating.

A cherished goal is finally within reach, and you're a little afraid of this prospect. It just goes to show that the process is often more enjoyable than the results. Keep this in mind when you set new goals for yourself. Life is too precious to spend waiting for some distant time when everything will magically fall into place.

If you're feeling uncertain about the future, reach out to someone close who has been a comfort before. You have a tendency to go silent when life gets trick. This is not a good idea. You'll be surprised how much better you feel when you open up to your confidante. There's too much emphasis on being brave in the face of disappointment.

Taking measures to improve your health won't be amusing at first, but it's not supposed to be. You've indulged your love of luxury a bit too much, and now it's time to pay the price. Devote at least a half hour each day to exercise. Increasing your flexibility should be your first priority; after that, focus on building strength.

Time spent with children is great fun, as they remind you of what it's like to experience things for the first time. Stay away from cynics who have a "been there, done that" attitude towards everything. Each day is a fresh opportunity to see something new. All you need to do is open your eyes, as well as your heart.

You could be given a second chance at an activity you failed at as a young child. While your success isn't guaranteed, you will feel as though you've made progress since those early days. Maybe the difference is that you can't reduce experiences into wins and losses. Just concentrate on having as much fun as you can.

Entertaining in your home makes it easier for you to open up; you've always felt comforted by familiar surroundings. Consider this a training period for more adventurous social activities. Whenever you feel insecure, you can always fall back on that dry wit of yours. Whether you realise it or not people love you for what you are.

A seemingly golden opportunity isn't all that it's cracked up to be, so beware. This is especially true where finances are concerned. Your best guide is your intuition. If your heart rebels against a tempting proposition, you'd be wise to listen to it. On the plus side, this is a good time to shop for bargains where luxury items are concerned.

Embarking on a plan of personal improvement can be exhausting at times, but don't give up. If you meet one goal this year, let it be this one. You have so much potential, especially when it comes to healing professions. Develop your listening and learning skills so you can help others who are in need of care and comfort.
